Summary

Maysville Elementary is a very small public school in the small town of Maysville, NC, serving about 121 students in grades PK-5 as part of Jones County Schools. Nearly every student (~97.5%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, but the school is performing far above what that poverty level would predict. In 2025-2026, Maysville ranked 542nd out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools — the 64th percentile with 3 stars — placing it ahead of many nearby schools with much higher-income student bodies, including several in Onslow County Schools such as Hunters Creek Elementary, Northwoods Elementary, Jacksonville Commons Elementary, and Bell Fork Elementary.

Within Jones County, Maysville outranks both of its nearby district peers: Pollocksville Elementary ranks in the 52nd percentile and Trenton Elementary in the 21st. The contrast with Trenton is especially striking because its poverty rate is nearly identical, yet Maysville outpaced it by hundreds of rankings, with far higher proficiency in math and reading. Maysville's strongest results are in upper-elementary reading and math — for example, 73.3% of both 4th and 5th graders were proficient in reading in 2025-2026, well above state averages. The main areas of concern are 3rd grade reading (47.4% proficient vs. 55.6% statewide) and 5th grade science, which trails the state by about 8 points. Because the school is so small, yearly swings can be large, so single-year results should not be over-interpreted.

Maysville also stands out for its resources and momentum. Its 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio is the lowest among surrounding elementary schools, its chronic absenteeism rate (21.7%) is better than both the district and state averages, and its roughly $13,869 per-pupil spending is far higher than most neighboring schools. The low-income students who make up nearly the entire school have ranked in the top quarter statewide (77th–86th percentile) for two straight years — a strong signal that the school's approach is working. After ranking in the 29th percentile in 2021-2022, Maysville has climbed to the 64th–65th percentile in the most recent two years, a pattern that suggests genuine, sustained improvement.
